17man

A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend (Proverbs 17:18).

Becoming surety for some one who knows that he is not in a position to pay back the loan is not a wise decision. At times, we are deceived to stand surety for people who would take bank loans and would then disappear.

A man void of understanding strikes deals and becomes a surety for a person who intends to cheat by not repaying the loan. A wise friend who is a witness to this deal would not give his consent to such a deal.
